Gab1 - growth factor receptor bound protein 2-associated protein 1

Involved in positive regulation of cell migration by vascular endothelial growth factor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; labyrinthine layer development; and positive regulation of MAP kinase activity. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; heart; liver; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 26. Orthologous to human GAB1 (GRB2 associated binding protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
